Knit a Wonderful Mohair Sweater

Mohair sweaters are very popular in the cold season because unlike other sweaters, these sweaters are more stylish, more fashionable and provide protection against the cold. The unique character of a mohair sweater is very natural because it is made from the wool of young sheep, especially the Ankara sheep, so sweaters made from their wool have a soft and luxurious yarn that no other sweater can deliver.

Mohair sweaters are not really new when it comes to clothing trends. In fact, even in past centuries, people spun and weaved yarn to make sweaters from sheep’s wool. However, with the revolution of the clothing industry and the techno-trend benefiting from this industry, the use of mohair wool has also revolutionized. Today, not only Ankara sheep but also other woolly animals producing fine wool materials were the source of mohair wool. There are now merino sheep from Australia and New Zealand, Shetland sheep from the Shetland Islands, alpacas from the Alpaca family and much more. Since we don’t limit our use of wool to sweaters, we now also have wool sweaters, jackets and sweaters.

Due to the variety of wool fabric sources, mohair sweaters now come in different qualities and fluffy textures. They are now more resistant to moisture and can retain heat in the body much longer. They have also become trendy hence mohair sweaters are now available in different colours, designs, patterns and styles so besides getting the perfect warmth during the winter months we also have a very functional and versatile wardrobe in them.
